I hope you are wrong on the downturn. The situation is somewhat different than most previous instances shown in that the oil spike is directly tied to the Iranian situation. We will see if the efforts of the U.S. and other nations is able to began capping and then reducing oil prices. It seems the oil price increase right now is locked to the closing of Hormuz strait.
Note the period from 2008 to 2020. Rates as low as ever but the inflation never happened as predicted. Then covid happened and there was massive gov’t spending, and inflation due to supply issues, so they raised rates, then we had greedflation because everyone started raising prices – because everyone else was, and the money was flowing, and the min wage spiked so it was all feeding on itself. I think raising rates just feeds inflation. The whole thing is a solution looking for a problem Rates ought to just stay the same, 4% or so, and just leave it there forever. Don’t borrow. Gov’t is the main problem with their excess spending, and Fed printing money to buy their debt. Fed money printing has been the main cause since its inception. Before the Fed, inflation was basically flat. Fed is NOT a gov’t agency, the gov’t can’t print money, it only borrows, Fed prints money to buy and we have to pay the FED the interest. Now with 38 trillion and counting we are getting buried in debt and it is going exponential. In 5 yr or less it will collapse and we’ll be in a major depression I think.
That fandangled El Nino is coming on quickly. Quite the reversal.

Muffin! Where have you been?
I been here. Sleepin’, eatin’, dreamin’, and nearly accomplished somethin’.
I been there, almost done that.
Yes Deb. We may be peas of a feather.
If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t still be here.
I found this on the ‘net, related to today’s EV posting:
On January 22, 1943, the town of Spearfish, South Dakota, experienced the weirdest weather in history. At 7:30 AM, it was a freezing -4F. Two minutes later, at 7:32 AM, the Chinook wind kicked in and the temperature instantly jumped to +45F. Windows cracked from the thermal shock. Car windshields instantly frosted over and then shattered. It remains the world record for the fastest temperature change. Then, just as quickly, it dropped back to -4F, freezing the slush instantly.
I’m kind of thinking this is not possible…but who knows, it the ‘net, where anything gets posted.
